Registration

Registration Overview

Registration is completed via DukeHub. DukeHub is the student self-service application providing students with an array of information and direct access to their academic, financial, and personal data. Access to DukeHub is gained by the use of your NetID and password.

DukeHub is available every day (except some Saturday mornings and holidays), seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day.

Access to DukeHub is gained by the use of your NetID and password. As a security precaution, students should change their NetID password periodically. This ID and password are your key to accessing all of the personal information contained on these pages. DON'T SHARE YOUR PASSWORD WITH ANYONE!

The use of DukeHub to gain access to or alter the record of registration of another person, or to gain access to restricted classes without proper permission, is a violation of the Duke Community Standard and is subject to disciplinary action.

If you need help with registration policies and procedures, call the Office of the University Registrar at 919-684-2813 during regular office hours or send an email to registrar@duke.edu. The office will be open at 7:00 a.m. during all registration windows. If you need technical help or browser information, contact the OIT Help Desk at 919-684-2200.

Registration and drop/add are available to all students with no outstanding financial or other obligations to the university. Students with outstanding financial obligations must make arrangements with the bursar's office before registering or attempting to drop/add. Those students who have not paid billed fees owed to, or fines imposed by, the university (such as laboratory fees, library fines, and parking fines) will not be permitted to register until the fees and fines have been paid, even if the student has paid tuition for the upcoming term.

See the Academic Calendar for the official semester schedule and registration deadlines.

Verification of Data

Verification of personal data occurs periodically throughout the year to ensure that student records are updated with the correct information. Students will not be able to proceed to DukeHub until each section of data is verified.

International Students - For Visa purposes, all international students must have an address type of "International" with a corresponding address. This address is in addition to any ‘Home’ and/or ‘Mail’ address types that may exist. International students cannot proceed unless an international address is provided.

Duke PO Boxes - Sometimes problems exist for students who have closed a mailbox with Duke Postal Operations, but it still appears in DukeHub and cannot be changed. If this situation exists, students should submit the following information to registrar@duke.edu: name, student ID, mailbox number, and the date the mailbox was closed.

Affirm Duke Community Standard - All students are asked to confirm that they have read and agree to abide by the Duke Community Standard.

Advising

You will need to discuss your proposed schedule with your advisor to become eligible to enroll. If you are an undergraduate and advised by the Academic Advising Center, you'll be expected to fill your bookbag before meeting with your advisor. Many departmental advisors also require you to fill your bookbag prior to your advising appointment.

Before accessing your bookbag, schedule an appointment with your advisor during the advising period. All undergraduate, Divinity, Nicholas, and Nursing students are made eligible to enroll by their advisors.

Once a student has been made eligible to enroll, a green checkmark will appear in DukeHub.

Bookbags/Schedule Builder

The bookbag helps you plan your registration activities prior to the opening of your registration window. The bookbag is similar to the "shopping cart" feature found on many online shopping sites. Bookbags can be updated to reflect current course availability as new courses are added to the schedule or seats are filled by students with earlier windows. Schedule Builder is a tool within the bookbag that allows students to identify course options, create multiple schedules, and import selected schedules back to the bookbag. Once your window opens, if you are satisfied with the courses in your bookbag, and they are still available, you can simply move those courses from your bookbag into your actual registration record.

Filling your Bookbag

Meet with any instructors from whom you will need permission numbers.

From the Student Center page, click ‘Registration’ and select either ‘Class Search’ or 'Advanced Class Search.’

Set the default term to the upcoming registration term.

Search the class schedule to find a course to add to your bookbag. Select ‘Add to Bookbag.’

Placing a course in your bookbag does not impact the enrollment total for the course. Only actual registration will use an actual seat in the class. If you have courses in your planner, you can also add those to your bookbag.

If you are registering for a variable unit/credit course, add the course to your bookbag. The system will automatically default to the lowest unit for the course. If you need to change this, click on 'Change Units' in the Variable Credits column in your bookbag. This will take you to the Enrollment Preferences page where you can select the appropriate class units.

To create a proposed schedule in your bookbag, check the box next to the courses in which you would like to enroll. Next, click on the ‘Validate’ button. This will check the courses for time conflicts, permission, prerequisites, and term credit limits.

HAVING CLASSES IN YOUR BOOKBAG OR PLANNER DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE REGISTERED FOR THEM. YOU MUST ACTUALLY ENROLL WHEN YOUR WINDOW OPENS.

Check your bookbag periodically prior to your registration window and make appropriate alterations. Courses can become filled. If this happens, drop the course from your bookbag and select an alternate.

Holds/Blocks

Registration and drop/add are available to all students with no outstanding financial or other obligations to the university. Students with outstanding financial obligations must make arrangements with the Bursar before registering or attempting to drop/add. Those students who have not paid billed fees owed to, or fines imposed by, the university (such as laboratory fees, library fines, and parking fines) will not be permitted to register until the fees and fines have been paid, even if the student has paid tuition for the upcoming term.

Special Note Regarding Continuation for Graduate School Students: If there is a block on your account when the Office of the University Registrar attempts to enroll you in CTN1 in the fall or spring terms, it will become your responsibility to register for CTN1 once the block is cleared. You must register for CTN1 before the late registration deadline to avoid the late fee ($50).

Registration Windows

Enrollment periods, or windows, are assigned to all students using DukeHub, and are indicated on the Student Center page in the Enrollment Dates area. Your window (specific date of eligibility to enroll) enables access to the enrollment process. All students must enroll for classes according to their assigned window date.

Graduate and Professional Students enrolled through Duke Divinity, Pratt - Engineering Professional, Graduate School, Nicholas School of the Environment, Sanford School of Public Policy, and School of Nursing register in the first window. Fuqua and Law school students should check with their school for specific registration information.

Seniors register in the second window. Juniors, Sophomores, and First-Year students register in the remaining windows. Class standing is based on each student's expected graduation term. Academic classes are sub-divided into groups, each according to the last two digits of Student ID numbers. Each sub-divided group is advanced from one semester to the next, moving up in order, then back to the last, to start forward again. Therefore, including the senior enrollment windows, each student will register in the first window for his or her class at least five times during his or her academic career.

Enrollment

Students attempt to enroll in validated bookbagged courses during their assigned registration window. When your registration window opens, enter the DukeHub bookbag area in order to complete your enrollment.

Check the box next to the courses in which you would like to enroll.

Click 'Go to Enroll.' The system will begin to enroll you in those classes, moving them from your bookbag to your registration record. You will be asked to confirm your enrollment in these courses. If the indicated courses are accurate, click 'Finish Enrolling.' When the registration process is completed your enrolled class schedule will be displayed.

When the registration process is complete you can print your schedule. You can also view your schedule graphically.

If you are using a public computer in a computer lab or any other public area, you MUST completely log off the computer. If you fail to do so, others will have access to your personal data.

Late Registration

Late Registration Deadlines and Penalty - A late registration penalty is charged to a student's record if no enrollment exists two weeks from the close of the last registration window. This includes registration for Continuation or Research. Students who fail to register for the fall or spring semesters may be withdrawn and must apply for readmission if they wish to return; they also forfeit their registration deposits unless they indicate at the time of registration their intention not to continue in the university the following term.
